Great atmosphere in Ballymun at the weekend at the Ballymun Family Fun Day. Axis was there to 'creatively' help out, by throwing drama facilitator Anita Nicholson into the mix - who really went all out on the day, engaging children in lots of colorful and crazy drama activities. T'was a terrific atmosphere in Ballymun and axis were only too happy to be part of it.
